All: send in pointers to existing guidelines Q&A Review ========================= Building on the discussion from last week about suggested Q&A items in Richard's email at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-i18n-geo/2003Apr/0020.html , and including the gist of Martin's comments at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-i18n-geo/2003Apr/0031.html, we agreed that it would be better NOT to point directly to other people's stuff (eg. As suggested by proposal no. 1 in Richard's email 0020.html). This gets around some potential issues related to copyright, perceived commercial bias, up to date material, consistent presentation of material, etc. The upshot is that we should write our own answers - in which we can always point to others' sites as alternative explanations / for greater detail etc. In some cases, our text will simply be a 'wrapper', in the way http://www.w3.org/International/O-HTTP-charset points to various places for server-specific information. This does, however, offer an opportunity to summarise or synthesize stuff that might be difficult to glean from other sources. We also discussed the format - separate pages for each question or a long page with many questions like a typical FAQ sheet. We opted for separate pages for now - we can always change our minds later. It was felt that we should probably have a special section for pointing to useful lookup tables (such as IANA or ISO 639) to allow people to find these quickly. This of course doesn't preclude adding such links to pages that answer related questions. Next meeting: ========== Same time, same bridge, next week. ============ Richard Ishida W3C tel: +44 1753 480 292 http://www.w3.org/International/ http://www.w3.org/People/Ishida/
